Introduce Yourself!

[Bobo]

Hi there, new guy from Berlin, Germany here.

My first pair of Oakleys were a Splice and I really loved them. Gave them to my brother a couple of years ago. Still have a first Gen juliet (might pop up in the exchange section soon) and a Nanowire 1.0. but my true companion is my Minute Machine with titanium bracelet and copper face. Wear it everyday since over 10 years (I think). Is always the start of a conversation at airport security...
Still own a Judge Stealth black with black face, but almost never wear it, since I don't want to destroy the great stealth black finish...

Hi All , i have just stumbled on this site by accident but love it already. The albums are great to look through.
I would love some info if anyone has the time as i'm sure you all probably hear these questions all the time but i have an old pair of Oakleys from the 90's which i think are Minutes but unsure and would love to know where i can find new arms for them.
They have been in the bottom of my baseball bag for at least 10 years and now i want to use them again. ( i am sorry for mistreating them ) Hopefully someone out there can help me out as it would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.

Wow yea those are pretty heavily used. I think that frame is rootbeer. Sometimes just the arms pop up on eBay for sale but getting the right frame color will take some time. If you like them that much, it might be easier to just buy another pair as it looks like you’re going to need earsocks too.

Yeah they have had a very well used life but i really wanted to bring them back from the grave. So do you know if they are Minutes ??
I dont really know my models at all , i just know what i liked at the time i bought them.

New member here - didn't even know this place existed. I raced BMX back in the 80s and had some of Oakley's first sunglasses - the Blades. I was even modding them back in the 80s. 40 years later, I'm still an Oakley fan and use my yearly VSP opportunity to buy new ones - usually something in the Flak line.

@okamotos hello and welcome!
A lot of really cool members here.

Hi,
I'm new here. I'm from Germany and signed up because I have a pair of Oakleys that I can't identify (they're the first pair of Oakleys I bought almost twenty years ago). Hopefully someone here will be able to help me. I will post a picture in the identification thread soon.

Cheers!
